I had two doctors tell me I needed a particular test, which I had. Medicare denied to pay for the office visit and the exam. My supplemental plan only contributes payment if Medicare covers some of it.

My doctor’s office said that this is happening to many patients because Medicare is just arbitrarily deciding now to cover certain things, but that I could appeal to Medicare if I wanted to. They said it probably wouldn’t be worth it because the gov’t holds all the power to say what they will pay for and what they won’t.

I asked, Before any treatment/test, do I need to call Medicare and verify that it will be covered? Answer: If you want to be sure, yes.

Gov’t healthcare for Seniors = NO Choice.

Medicare is included in below:

The one thing that does not get discussed or a lot of press is that the way that the system is designed.
There is not a lot of money left in America, the underclass is financially impoverished. The middle class is shrinking and the upper classes don’t participate.
There is, however a large pool of assets in the middle class and some in the lower and underclass that can be grabbed.
The way this system works is that the medical industrial complex works with the insurance complex and the overreaching government to set price points.
Price points on how much the medical industrial complex charges, and price points on how much the insurance charges. The government is the enforcer.

Insurance price points include the asset busting deductibles.
As insurance price points increase, and medical costs increase, and the government continues to say who gets what, the middle class can no longer afford insurance and they are dumped into Medicaid.
Medicaid pays everything, but is not free but instead dissolves assets to keep the whole ball going.
Anyone with assets this country who cannot bow out of the system will be getting robbed.
Whatever happens with the insurance, it is going to be a middle class asset grab. The millennial will have their inheritances used to prop up healthcare and insurance and of course the government.
